A few weeks ago I wrote about Fenway and I taking our morning walk and spotting five deer....a doe with two fawns and another with triplets!
Tonight, after dinner, we went for an evening walk. Lots of activity in Port Washington since it's Lions Fest Weekend with bands playing and people walking everywhere. So I thought that any wildlife would probably be out-of-sight.
We reversed our walk and started on the "low" side, walking through the volleyball court area and the grassy area before the woods and the bridge that would lead us to the bike path. As we approached the grassy area I could see two deer grazing. As we got closer I realized it was two of the fawns....no doe in sight and they were much bigger than they were a few weeks ago. As we got closer they watched carefully.....and finally ran off toward the woods on the right. Suddenly there was more noise/movement and there was the third fawn....following her siblings into the woods.
The triplets! And then a beautiful red cardinal swooped in, landed on the path in front of us, looked our way and took flight through the trees.
Triplets and a cardinal. I started the day at the beach....listening to the surf. I ended the day spotting wildlife. What a lovely day.
